John Jones Obituary
Born in Bristol, Bob was a resident of Levittown for most of his life, most recently Vermillion Hills, until moving to The Birches Care Center in Newtown in March of 2019.
He was the beloved husband of Audrey "Midge" (Carango) Jones, to whom he was married for 63 years. He is also survived by his son, Robert A. Jones (Liz) of Jackson, N.J., and his daughter, Candy L. Moyer (Bob) of Doylestown, Pa.
He was preceded in death by his son, Donald W. Jones of Fairless Hills, who lost his life in the 9/11 World Trade Center attack.
Bob is survived by his loving grandchildren, Bob, Katie, Valerie and Kole Jones, Meg Jones and Jessica Philipbar, and Holly, Miranda and Bill Moyer. He is also survived by his brothers, Jimmy Jones of Barnegat, N.J. and Barry Jones of Levittown; daughters-in-law, Dotty Jones of Langhorne and Susan Jones of Yardley; brother-in-law, John "Bucky" Carango of Wesley Chapel, Fla.; and sister-in-law, Mary Jane Halcomb of Mount Laurel, N.J. He will also be missed by many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by siblings, Bill, Jerry, Joseph "Doc," Betty Quick, Marge Jones, Jean Bux, Ginny Bux, and Judy Leyden.
Bob proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict, and was a member of the American Legion Post 834. He worked at Pennsbury Schools (Medill Bair) for 25 years and was previously employed at Badenhausen Corporation.
Bob spent many years coaching his children in softball, as well as playing in a senior men's league. He enjoyed hanging out with his teams in Kasdon's after many games. Bob enjoyed watching NASCAR races and was a big fan of Dale Earnhardt. He also was a huge fan of the New York Giants football team.
Bob's family would like to thank the staff at The Birches of Newtown for their care and compassion over the last year.
Burial will be private at Washington Crossing National Cemetery, Newtown. Due to restrictions, a memorial will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions can be made to Christ United Methodist Church, 501 Wistar Rd., Fairless Hills, PA 19030.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Always enjoyed working with him at Medill Bair. Got to know him a little better after we both retired and he would visit our farm. Visits were always filled with laughter and he would leave with smiles on everyone's faces. He will be missed.

To the Jones Family, Thanking for sharing your Dad with many of us. Will miss his wisdom and witty humor. He made us feel like we were his sons. He made us laugh a lot just like his real sons did and do. He enjoyed his family and life, we did him. We will toast many a beer when the time is right to him. God bless, Mr. Jones

To the Family of Bob,
Please accept my very deep sympathy in the passing of Bob.
He was a fun guy who seemed to keep everyone on their toes. I genuinely enjoyed seeing and talking to him when I visit the Birches where my parents are both residents as well. Bob was one of my favorite people there and it won't be the same without him.
With Condolence,

I remember Bob and Midge living up the street from my family in Bristol. Wonderful young couple, then my sister married Midge's brother and it was whole other "ball game". I last saw Bob at one of the many gatherings at Linda and Troy Carango's house in Michigan. He was full of life and wicked too. Midge and family, I am so sorry for your loss of your one great love. Peace be with you.

I have so many memories of Uncle Bob. Our families spent a lot of time together in the 60's and 70's. My Mom was very close with Midge, and Bob was a close friend of my Dad's for more than 60 years. I remember watching the very first Super Bowl in their living room, playing basketball in their driveway and touch football in the street in front of their house on Twisting Lane in Levittown. We had family picnics together every Memorial Day for many years. I always felt loved around them. My wife, Jennifer, and our sons, Zach, Austin and Luke, were thrilled to meet him and Midge a few years ago at a reunion my brother and his wife hosted. We are very sorry for your loss.

Uncle Bob was always in a good mood when I saw him. I enjoyed when he would come to visit at Christmas with Aunt Midge. He always came to our house on New Years Eve with fireworks and set them off on our porch. I will miss him.

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.
